Re: Fitrana Question
The whole purpose of fitrana is to make sure those who can not celebrate eid and do not have new clothes to wear on eid, get that opportunity.
Although, it is necessary to pay the Sadaqat-ul-Fitr before Salaht-ul-Eid (even on behalf of child who was born at the time of Faj'r on the day of Eid - provided the family or the head of family is Saahib-e-Nisaab), but it is very much recommended to pay it in enough advance time that it reaches the deserving, before Eid.
